Amazing Health Benefits Of Honey And Cinnamon
Now that the cinnamon challenge craze is over and out (luckily), we can focus on how honey and cinnamon can actually bring us a lot of health benefits, and maybe reintroduce them in our diets. These 2 simple ingredients are easy to find, and easy to use – you can serve them as they are, or make a tea out of them, or even add them to cookies.
Sugar for my honey?
Honey is one of those seemingly-miraculous food items that never go bad. That’s because it has some enzymes which keep it fresh all the time, and which also helps our bodies. These enzymes, however, are sensitive to high temperatures, so if you want to make a honey and cinnamon tea, you should add the cinnamon first, stir for a few minutes and let it seep, and when it’s a bit cooler add the honey. You should aim to use raw, organic honey, and if possible bought from the farmer’s market or from a local health food store. The way to tell if your honey is organic is that after a while it will “sugar”, that is, it’ll crystalize and you’ll need a sturdier spoon to scoop it out for your honey and cinnamon recipes.
Cinnamon can be found pretty much in any health foods store or supermarket, but did you know that there are 2 kinds of cinnamon out there? The most popular kind is called “Cassian Cinnamon”, and it has a very spicy flavor. It originates from China, India, Vietnam and Indonesia, and it’s often called “fake cinnamon”. It contains a substance called coumarin, which can be detrimental in high dosages. That’s why you should try to buy the “real” cinnamon for your honey and cinnamon recipes. This second type is called “Ceylon Cinnamon” and if you cannot find it in your health store you can definitely order it online. This one contains a lot less courmarin compared to Cassian Cinnamon (barely any), so it’s a lot healthier, plus it has a milder flavor.
